Driving Landys after Hip replacements, Manual/Auto advice
lightweight-love:
After a long wait I'm going in for Bilinear Hip replacements TOMORROW!!!
I have a s3 lightweight That I have had sat up waiting till I can drive her again.
I'm already planning a few major mods such as an r380 and Toyota locker axles (made to fit the leafs) to match up behind the 200tdi Iv already put in.
But Now I'm thinking of putting an Auto box in as must lower wear on the Hips?
Also the upright sitting position is that ok post Op?
Any advice or to hear from anyone that has had a similar op would be great
Cheers
Duncan

Still have my original hips, but from having driven a number of autos id say go for it and don't look back, especially in an off roader
Disco-Ron:
I would strongly advise simply asking the doctor/surgeon...
And, good luck!!

A friend of mine is just going in for his 2nd hip replacement.
He was driving a manual 110 and now a 130 without any problems whatsoever.
Disco Matt:
Surely the replacement hips will be stronger than the originals anyway? There's not much point in replacing with weaker components! :lol:
